> While at the same time producing the highest GDP per captia in the world, the most number of people with college education, and leadership in probably 80% of global industries? Producing these things and breeding crime, poverty and prostitution are not mutually exclusive. The people receiving the benefits of the high GDP are not the same people that are committing crimes and living in poverty. Also "the highest GDP per captia in the world" is not correct. By most accounts (IMF, World Bank, UN) the US is around the bottom half of the top 10, both nominal and PPP adjusted. Certainly high but not on top by any account.
